Maybe not. But then there isn't to keep Spirfires or Lancasters or
Hurricanes or Hunters flying, or returning Vulcans, Lightnings or Buccaneers to the air. I am not an aviation buff by any means, but I would say the sheer size and complexities of Concorde, not least the more specialist parts it needs, are prohibitive for Airbus to keep it flying for such un-occasional use. I expect all the others listed fly, or are being fixed to re-fly, with donations of hundreds or thousands of pounds. Surely Concorde would cost millions to keep flying - and nobody is going to pay that! I admit it is a shame - I was there at Heathrow to watch the last landings. And, isn't it a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted? All the Concorde's have gone, or are going, to their new static homes - there isn't a Concorde left to fly is there?? D. |
